white.i actually wanted a green sportsman but when the transport came in all 10 were red and I was number 2 on a list of 20 people that were getting 500,s in 2010 and it was a week before hunting season so red it was.the animals don't seem to care one way or the other and not one has left a note telling me that moose or deer prefer any particular color so red really isn't to bad.

My initial choice in bike was the 570 EPS, and I had wanted it in the white. I was going to be particular simply because I was buying new, so I wanted to choice of color. I don't hunt, so camo would make me feel like a poser (nothing against hunting, but living in jersey I'm more of a fisherman.) The sage green just doesn't do it for me. Something about the white was really appealing....until I went to the dealer. I checked inventory online at the dealers close by (there are 4 fairly close to me,) and I shot down to the dealer with a white in stock. When I got there, it had already been sold. However, they had a 550 EPS in the Magnetic Metallic - man what a sweet looking bike. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse (we're from jersey after-all.) In my opinion, it's one of the nicest colors they offer, and seems incredibly rare to find. Though all the bikes look cool in my opinion, and they all end up looking better once we add our personal flavor to them - be it though adding a plow, or brush guards and nice lights, to a sweet looking bow rack or rifle case.

When i bought my 400, blue was the only color I liked. I thought the green was the grossest color I had ever seen. Then after a while it grew on me. Then next thing I knew I liked the sage green best. I also liked the orange and black.

When I bought my 850 I wanted camo but the dealer didn't have one, so my next choice was sage green. And 1 year later I couldn't be happier with it.

I also agree that I am not into the flashy look. I use my machine like it is meant for, and don't have time to wash it after ever ride. So flashy "automotive" style paint and chrome rims are not something I want.

I got white to match my truck. So far it hasn't stained or anything. It does however rub brown where your knees are from dirt. Requires it to be polished out. I put clear vinyl used on cars to protect it. I also at least rinse everything off my quad after every ride.

I really loved my silver on my old le 800, but I m cheap so when it came time to upgrade I took a regular edition that was at a deep discount (magnetic metallic), but if I had to choose I would do orange or maybe white... don't hate the yellow, but that is primarily what the competition sells, so I will steer clear, lol...

Haha lots of good answers so far. I have to say I have never seen a magnetic metallic quad before, is it painted or it the plastic actually metallic like if you got a scratch or cracked it there would be sparkles inside? Just wondering because I wouldn't want to get a big scuff and see white plastic underneath.

If I was single it would have been camo, but I am married, and happily I might add, so the color is sage green. Might have taken a long look at the stealth too if they had had that color for my 570. Color is really secondary to a quality machine I can depend on.:wavey:

I’m looking at a 2016 Sportsman 1000 with 2,300 miles on it for $7,800 and a 2019 850 with only 14 hours on it for $8,500. Which is the better buy? Newer that’s barely been driven vs older with a better engine? And how long do Polaris ATVs last in general? Need help deciding thanks.

Hi all, I've been in the market for an ATV and debating between buying a new 2020 Sportsman 570 eps or used. There are rebates and 0% financing out there now, but it comes down to this decision:
1) New 2020 Sportsman 570 eps with winch & plow add on is about $8700. Color green.
2) Used 2015...

I have a 2011 carbed 500 HO it is showing the hot and check engine right away when key is turned on and it is cold. It also will randomly cut power to the gauge cluster and turn off. Then wont start till gauge cluster gets power again which sometimes takes a long time. Things I have checked...
